Lent
arrives on February 22, Ash Wednesday, this year. As part of our Lenten
discipline we add another opportunity for weekly worship, prayer
and fellowship at Joy. These will occur on six consecutive Wednesdays
beginning February 22. Each Wednesday at 6 pm one of Joy's committees
will serve supper.
The Outreach Committee will serve potato soup for the Ash Wednesday meal.
Our Ash Wednesday worship with Imposition of ashes and Holy
Communion will start at
7
pm. For the next five Wednesdays we will gather also at 7
pm in the worship area for a devotion
and "Evening Prayer."
The Wednesday devotions will
turn
our attention to the Old Testament prophets. Do you have an
Old Testament prophet that you'd like included? Please share the name of
the prophet with Pro
Appel.
Check
your Bible's table of contents. The prophets are listed beginning with
Isaiah and concluding with Malachi.

During
worship on Sundays in Lent we will use a series called "Watchers on the
Hill." This series allows us to overhear conversations between those -
some
historical, some fictitious - who witnessed Jesus' crucifixion. With the
cross as the focal point and the final words of Jesus as the common
thread, each dialog seeks to share the significance of our Savior's
death and the miracle of our salvation. Would you like to assist with
the dialogs? Scripts
are available. See Pro Appel.
Thanks in advance!'
